Linear

Functions

What do you mean

by linear?

very good !!

Linear function is a
function of the form
f(x) = mx+b
Where m and b are real
numbers and m0.
Domain: set of real
numbers
Range: set of real
numbers

Some examples of linear function in

different forms are the following:

Each of the form can be

written in another form.
For this purpose, the
function form y=mx+b will
be used synonymously as
f(x)=mx+b, which
suggests that y=f(x).

Example1: Rewrite each linear function in the

form y=mx+b. Then determine the value of m
and b.

1. 4x-y=1
m=?
b=?
y

2. 2x+3y=6
m=?
b=?

Linear function can

also be written in the
form Ax+By=C. As an
equation , this form is
referred
STANDARD
to as the
FORM

Example2: Transform each linear function in

STANDARD FORM.

Example 3:T Determine if each is a linear

function or not.

Seatwork
A. Transform each linear function into the form
y=mx+b

1.x+y=2
2. 2x-y=5

3. 5x+15y=3

B. Give the equivalent function in Standard Form
